Background

I remember buying my first crystal back in like 2009 or so.

I purchased an Amethyst crystal necklace from a gift shop in the mall.

Had no idea that it was anything, I thought it was cute so I bought it lol!

Fast forward to 2018 when I was well into my spiritual journey.

I began to see these beautiful gems pop up absolutely everywhere, Instagram, Youtube, blogs.

As I got further into my practice I began to learn about crystals & stones & the healing properties that they possess.

I was super intrigued & visited my first crystal shop.

Upon entering I immediately felt a sense of c a l m wash over me & I’m like sh*t I need to come here everyday! Lol!

I had previously done some research on specific stones that I had wanted but I quickly found that different crystals were actually pulling me towards them.

It sounds weird af but its true when they say that crystals pick you, you don’t pick them.

I left there on cloud 9 with such a sense of inner peace.

I left there with every single thing that my s o u l needed at that time!

Every crystal I purchased that day resonated with me so so deeply.

Fast forward again to a year later I opened my own business surrounding crystals, ahhhh!

Isn't it crazy how the universe aligns everything that is meant for you right before your eyes?!

Now I don’t even leave my house without them!

I legit feel naked without them, lol!

I keep them in my bra, in my car, my purse, next to my bed, windows, tables, bathroom. kitchen, in my classroom, everywhere everywhere, absolutely everywhere!
